Election Coordinator/Investigator for Sollentuna Municipality

Do you want to lead one of Sweden's most important projects? We are looking for an election coordinator/investigator who is responsible for planning, logistics, and management during election years.

Job Responsibilities

We are now seeking an Election Coordinator for Sollentuna Municipality – a key role where you will lead and coordinate the entire election organization during election years. In non-election years, you will work as an investigator to produce decision-making materials, reports, and drive development and quality work within the municipality's operations. In a politically governed organization, you are expected to deliver objective, well-founded analyses that provide politicians with high-quality decision-making materials. This means you should be able to analyze complex issues, present various courses of action with pros and cons, and communicate your conclusions clearly both in writing and verbally. You need to have a good understanding of the democratic decision-making process and be able to work at the interface between administration and politics.

As an election coordinator, you will be a central part of the core of democracy. You will project manage and coordinate the entire election work, from recruiting and training approximately 450 election officials to ensuring venues, materials, and logistics. You are responsible for ensuring that election officials receive the right knowledge and support, coordinating with external actors such as PostNord, the County Administrative Board, and the Election Authority, and ensuring that the election process is documented and evaluated for future improvements. The work includes both strategic and operational tasks – from preparing matters for the election board to solving practical problems on election day. You will lead the daily work together with another election coordinator who focuses on recruitment activities and assists with other practical and administrative tasks related to the election. Other colleagues in the election office assist in the broader election work.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a university degree in political science, public administration, law, or another relevant field. You have good knowledge of the laws governing public operations, experience working in a politically governed organization, and very good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written. A B driver's license is a requirement. Experience in election work or election administration, project management, team leadership, and legal or municipal competence is an advantage.

As a person, you are self-driven, proactive, and have an easy time driving work forward. You are responsible, meticulous, structured, and solution-focused, while also being unpretentious and service-oriented. You easily create contacts and collaborate, can lead and motivate others, and remain calm even in pressured situations. A strong interest in social development and democratic processes is crucial. We place great importance on your personal suitability in this recruitment.
